Alex Walker Personal Training is a fitness and Personal Training service for women who want to be strong, healthy and empowered in their fitness.
I am Alex, a CIMPSA Accredited, fully insured level 3 qualified Personal Trainer with over 20 years experience in education and education management. I am an expert at providing bespoke and individualised fitness plans for my clients. I help you to set manageable yet challenging goals to reach your full fitness potential. I have a First Class Honours Degree in Biological Sciences and experience of working in the scientific field, plus I am a qualified and certified life coach. My background in science and education means I not only have the skills to help you improve your fitness, I can give you all the scientific facts and explanations as to why strong is amazing and how to get there.
My fitness specialisms are kettle bell training, resistance training, body weight exercise and I am qualified as a women’s menopause strength training provider – my fitness plans will help you to beat that feeling of overwhelm and anxiety and even alleviate many of your physical peri-menopause symptoms. As a mum of 3, I know how we can often neglect our own needs and will therefore be motivating and inspiring you to get and stay fit.
My fitness philosophy is based around improving strength so we can age healthily in a way that is enjoyable and keeps us strong throughout our life; improving fitness, improving strength, improving balance and coordination, helping weight management, improving mental health, improving confidence and most of all reducing the chances of injury that lead to a poor quality of life as we get older. I understand how hard it can be to go into a busy gym when you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing or you lack the confidence to workout in front of others, which is why I work with women non-judgmentally and supportively on a one to one basis, to get you to where you want to be, whether that be face to face or online. Although most of my clients have chosen to stay with me longer term on a one to one basis, I have also helped women to grow in confidence so they have been able to transition into exercising alone in the gym.
So, if you’re wondering why you should choose to work with me, I am for you if any of the following apply:
you are a woman who is in, or approaching, her midlife or beyond
you find exercise a little bit daunting or lack the confidence to go it alone
you want to rid yourself of the constant diet industry nonsense and grow strong not skinny
you are struggling with peri-menopause/menopause symptoms and want to reduce that horrible achy feeling in your joints and muscles
you want results and are willing to put in the work and commitment needed to succeed
I’ve only been training with Alex for a couple of weeks. Her knowledge and passion is infectious and is also an expert in women’s health. I look forward to each workout and feel stronger each session. I’m already starting to see results. Alex isn’t just a PT, she’s all about the full process, from nutritional help, calories and step counting, all in her unique app to help you keep accountable. She’s helped me more than she knows and already has become a firm friend.
I’ve never enjoyed exercise and have always been an ok weight. Over the last two years my job became significantly more sedentary and I became over weight and sluggish. Alex has helped me hugely change my mindset and my eating habits and i am actually enjoying the fitness training! I am slowly but surely seeing changes in my weight, strength, stamina, and mood. Alex is massively motivating, there’s no messing, no faff and nothing you couldnt say or ask Alex. She’s the best!! Thank you Alex. X
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Alex over the past few months, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Her expertise and dedication to helping me reach my fitness goals is exceptional. She tailors each workout to my specific needs and consistently supports me to achieve more than I thought possible. Her positive attitude and encouragement are very motivating, and she provides excellent guidance on both exercise and nutrition. Thanks Alex x
I have been working out with Alex 3 times a week for over a year and have recently joined her menolift programme. She is an amazing PT. So motivating and supportive. It’s the longest I ve ever consistently stuck to any exercise! Highly recommend
I have been training with Alex since early July 2023 and have found her to be professional, knowledgeable and motivational in helping me succeed in weight loss and toning up as I go through perimenopause. She has an amazing sense of humour too that helps to push me when I’m struggling.
6 weeks ago I started doing Alex’s Menolift program. This has been brilliant with 3 workouts per week, nutrition advice, habit forming, group chat, one-on-one help from Alex when needed, etc.
Highly recommend!
I have trained with Alex for over two years. She is dedicated to personal training and helping her clients achieve results. She encourages you to take a holistic approach to fitness, providing advice on diet, well being and introducing good habits into your daily routine. Alex is extremely knowledgeable about fitness and will motivate you to achieve your potential. Totally recommend working with her.
I love the early morning PT sessions I have been having with Alex since Jan 2023. She tailors my sessions to help me work towards my fitness goals, and the sessions have become a non-negotiable part of my week. I even take my weights on holiday with me! Alex is a very motivating and supportive PT. She has an in depth knowledge of fitness and nutrition and will always share and signpost to resources she thinks might be useful.
4 months ago I started strength training with Alex, in the main to keep me strong as a runner. Alex tailored a programme for me, balancing the exercise and training I already do. The results have been quite incredible. I have seen my body shape changing and after a recent marathon felt so strong and my recovery has been so much quicker too. This is my 7th marathon and I’ve never recovered so quickly nor felt so strong on the day. Reaping the rewards from my training. I highly recommend Alex.
